HANSEN HYBRID 
PLUMS 
We propagate them on the Hardy Ameri¬ 
can Wild Plum Seedlings. The Root that 
stands all the dry, severe winters. 
• CHERISOTA 
An abundant bearer of moderately large dark 
red plums of high quality. Producing as the 
other Sand Cherry Crosses do, large quantities 
of fruit from one year old up. This is a cross of 
the sand cherry of western South Dakota and 
the American Plum De Sot a. When Prof. Han¬ 
sen had produced these plums he found there 
was a gap between the maturity of some of the 
varieties and the later ones so he produced the 
Cherisota. 18-30 in. and 2J4-4 ft. only. 
• HANSKA 
This is a cross between the native Plum and 
the fine fragrant Apricot Plum of China. The 
fruit is splendid for eating out of the hand, and 
when cooked retains the Apricot flavor. The size 
of the fruit is about one and one-half inches in 
diameter. The color of the fruit when ripe is 
bright red, with a heavy blue bloom; flesh is firm, 
yellow, good quality and very fragrant. It begins 
to bear the second year, ripens in August. Its 
value for preserves will make it popular and de¬ 
sirable everywhere. There is a tremendous de¬ 
mand for this variety, and we have been unable 
to meet the demand to date. 
• KAGA 
Of the same pedigree as the Hanska. Ripens 
a little earlier and is a little larger and if it is 
possible to be better quality, then the Kaga 
wins first prize on that score. The fruit in an 
extremely wet season is apt to crack on the tree 
and when you find one of those broken open it is 
delicious to eat but a poor shipper. In size it is 
a little larger than the Hanska, about a quar¬ 
ter of an inch, and is one of the best of the mark¬ 
et plums.

® KAHINTA 
One of Prof. Hansen’s very hardy free stone 
Plums. Fruit exceptionally large, dark red, 
round, flesh firm, yellow, very sweet. We heartily 
recommend this variety. It ripens about the 
same time as Waneta. 
• OPATA 
This is Sioux Indian for “bouquet” and is 
the first of the plums of the Sand Cherry Cross 
to ripen. At blooming time it is a gigantic 
bouquet of white flowers of the most exquisite 
fragrance. It blooms just a little later than the 
American Plum. The trees of the Sand Cherry- 
Crosses should be grown as bushes, not trees, for 
the reason that you can grow twice as much fruit 
and one or two years earlier by letting them 
branch from the ground, than they will if you 
make them in tree form, and they are much 
longer lived in bush farm. Color of the flesh 
green, flavor very pleasant, ripens about July 
15th and will hang on the tree in good condition 
for about two weeks. (See inside back cover 
for colored picture.) 
• SAPA 
The Sioux Indian word for “black”—“As 
dark as the shadows of eve banked in the 
Western Heavens.” Turning the branches 
of this tree back when the fruit is ripe exposing 
the long ropes of glossy black fruit to the rays of 
the sun, the background, the smooth bark and 
glossy dark green foliage are a pleasant sight. 
When it first commences to mature the skin is 
dark green. The flesh a royal purple. The color 
of the skin and flesh gradually change until it is 
as black as the darkest night. (See inside back 
cover for colored picture.) 
©TOKA 
The nicest looking tree, erect, strong, stocky 
growth, early, heavy bearer. Fruit roundish, 
slightly oval, size l%ths by ltfieths inches in 
diameter. Skin rich dark orange red, mottled 
with orange dots, covered with light Hlac bloom. 
Flesh rich orange red, firm. Pit free. Sauce 
has the rich Chinese apricot flavor, which is 
superior to ordinary California plums. 
• YUTECA PLUM 
Yuteca (Sioux Indian for “to refresh”). Size 
very large, quality good. A choice early and 
productive native plum. 
WASTESA — (Sioux Indian name for “deli¬ 
cious”). Large, almost free stone, excellent. It 
is the best in quality of all the pure native seed¬ 
lings. Wastesa is a seedling of Wyant, one of the 
best native plums of northern Iowa. 
WANETA 
Prof. Hansen’s Masterpiece 
To my mind, this is unquestionably 
Prof. Hansen's masterpiece in produc¬ 
tion, and it combines hardiness, im¬ 
mense size, delicious quality, long 
keeping, beautiful color, small pit and 
early bearing, producing a good crop at 
two years of age and never missing a 
crop any year. At four years old it is 
not unusual for a Waneta to produce 
four bushels of plums. It is a rapid 
grower. We have shipped this plum 
across the United States and back, and 
it was returned to us in perfect condition.
